Search eBay for the below but I needed to get a small extension cable too as otherwise the skip button wouldn't extend past the sliding compartment. Sounds kinda dodgy, but end result still looks neat, and I don't have any loss in sound quality either Replacement 3.5mm AUX Jack Remote Mic Control Talk Cable Lead for Beats Earphone

looked up the griffin bluetrip, quite a few reviews mention good voice quality, poor music quality? music is obviously what i want it for. also needs to stream efficiently. i have been in some cars, and the music lags over bluetooth, doubt its my phone as its an iphone 6s. whats a "linkbk"? tried searching for it, but couldnt find exactly what it is. who manufactures it

my 2011 is350 f sport has bluetooth for phone calls, but not for music streaming. since i have most of my music on apple music (which isnt easily transferable to a usb stick) i have been using an aux cable to listen to my music recently. obviously because of this i can only control the volume via the car, skipping a track needs to be done on the phone. i actually can skip tracks, with some trickery: i purchased a 3.5mm cable with the iphone type controls, which when you double click, skips the song, so i have this part lying near the gear shift so i can skip a song without taking my eyes off the road or needing to touch my phone, which in vic, can get you a hefty fine this is the cable: i have seen some bluetooth aux devices, which dont seem to have to many user reviews, however they are cheap. has anyone used one, or could recommend a good one eg: http://www.blueant.com.au/products/headphones/ribbon/index.php?locale=en-au https://www.officeworks.com.au/shop/officeworks/p/comsol-bluetooth-music-receiver-cobt01r https://www.amazon.com/Mpow-Bluetooth-Receiver-Streambot-Hands-free/dp/B00MJMV0GU/ref=sr_1_3?ie=UTF8&qid=1489747337&sr=8-3&keywords=aux+bluetooth

you do know that all your getting for your $189 is changed throttle percentages? as in, currently you press the throttle 50%, your $189 kit will move this to around 25% its just a perception mod, all you need to do is press the throttle more but i do admit i have a 2011 model, and havent driven an 08, so it could have a 'laggy' throttle feel...

http://my.is/forums/f115/fuel-filter-diy-351999/ like you said, there is conflicting info out there most likely the reason why lexus want to change it, even though they dont really need to, is to cover themselves. car manufacturers get sued left right and center for nearly everything nowdays, so rather than leave a potential problem, they either make it a recall or just add it as a part that needs to be changed during a service unless your having any negative side effects, you could most likely get away with not changing it

heres my contribution: a few years back i was went to japan for a holiday, and as any car enthuasist would do, i went to superautobacs. for those that dont know, superautobacs is kind of like a mega supercheat auto, with entire isles dedicated to single products, eg: car refreshner anyways, back then i had a 98 TT Supra so i bought some goodies for it, including a TRD fuel cap, which is literally a cover that sits on your current fuel cap, just a dress up really. anyway, because it sits ontop of your current fuel cap, the way the Supra was designed, you couldnt end up closing the fuel lid properley. So i just ended up storing it and forgot about it. Was doing some spring cleaning recently and thought for a lol see if it fits on the IS350, and it does! Superautobacs

mines a late 2010 build is350 f-sport which mainly gets driven in peak hour traffic, and once again, i average 10.8L/100km the figures you are quoting are literally 5L V8 type consumption, no way should a 3.5 V6 ever consume that much, whoever you took it to is just talking nonsense, either take it back to them and see a different person, or take it to a different dealer all together you could even go to the used car section, and i can most likely gaurantee this, hop in every IS350 they have and just flick thru to the average fuel consumption menu, none of them will have a figure that high just to recap for you, ive had many high performance turbo cars in the past, and none of them have had a fuel consumption figure that high!
